The paper identifies genes from the natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity pathway as critical in determining clinical outcomes of COVID-19 by analyzing longitudinal transcriptional changes in immune cells.

The paper identifies and validates copy number variants in single human neurons using a new method, revealing nonrandom CNV locations and complex karyotypes in a subset of neurons.

This paper develops a single cell sequencing pipeline for Plasmodium falciparum, improving genome amplification and copy number variation detection in single cells.

The paper investigates CNV neuron frequency in aged human neocortex, finding that it varies widely among individuals and is anti-correlated with age.
